Entry DescriptionELKHART COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces asphalt paving has begun this week on SR 13, between SR 4 and US 20, south of Middlebury. During daytime hours, thru traffic will be permitted under the direction of flaggers, with single-lane traffic in alternating directions. Motorists should be aware of temporary lane markings, merging construction traffic and shoulder work. Restrictions are expected to lift each night.

Work on the Pumpkinvine Trail is ongoing, with a lane restriction on northbound SR 13 in Middlebury, from York Drive, extending approximately 1,000 feet north to the Dairy Queen. Temporary markings direct a traffic shift to the west side of SR 13, allowing traffic flow in both directions during the trail construction.

In downtown Middlebury, from Middlebury Elementary School (just south of Spring Street) to the bridge located south of York Street, the installation of curb and gutter, ADA curb ramps and sections of sidewalk will continue until approximately the beginning of July, at which time paving work will begin on this section of SR 13.

The entire asphalt resurfacing project, with connection of the Pumpkinvine Trail, is scheduled to be complete in mid-September. The contract was awarded to Walsh & Kelly, based on the low bid of $2.6 million.

INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through a construction zone. For the latest news and information about INDOT, visit www.in.gov/indot.
